GLENS FALLS, N.Y. — Join us for the opening of the 43rd Annual Glens Falls Farmers’ Market Outdoor Summer Season at the South Street Pavilion in Downtown Glens Falls, NY on May 4th, 2019. Spring has finally sprung here in the North Country, and we are excited to finally breathe the fresh air outside! Thank you to everyone that visited us at Sanford St, we hope you’ll take the short journey to our outdoor space. Catch up with new and old friends and help us celebrate opening day.
Join 35 different vendors and take home some of their yummy food and handmade products in a free Glens Falls Farmers Market reusable bag (while supplies last). The first 20 lucky market-goers get a special treat of a $5 token in their new market bags! Also available are market pens and notepads so you can write down all the ingredients you’ll need for a farm fresh recipe the next time you come to the market. Indulge your sweet tooth with one of five different cookies from Dickinson’s Delights – sugar, granola chocolate chip, lemon drop, chocolate chip and vanilla cocoa.
Enjoy the Schroon River String Band as they perform bluegrass, country, folk, fiddle tunes, and anything they have fun playing. Simyles Unlimited will be providing free face painting for the kiddos! We hope that you’ll join us for a fun-filled morning at the Market.
A few vendor highlights include items from Dickinson’s Delights, Grazin’ Acres, VegCafe, and Saratoga Chocolate Company.
That’s no moon, it’s a crepe from Dickinson’s Delights! Have fun and May the 4th be with you this Saturday. In tribute to the movies (& the Mel Brooks spoof), Dickinson’s will be featuring lightsaber pretzels and movie inspired crepes. As always, they’ll also have your sweet favorites, mac & cheese, and more more. A few highlight crepes include the Lonestar (raspberry with white chocolate), Ham solo (ham, egg & cheese), Red 5 (strawberry & banana with nutella), The Death Star (sausage, bacon, ham, egg & cheese), and Spaceball’s Col. Sanders (BBQ chicken with Pak Dong & cheddar).
Grazin’ Acres wants to celebrate the Outdoor Market Season with 2 chickens for $30! Chock full of flavor, these chickens can be roasted in the oven or barbecued on the grill. Want to make sure you have something all season long? Consider signing up for one of their summer CSA shares.
The VegCafe at the Market is bringing a wide array of cookies (including vegan/gluten-free), as well as a full menu of savory vegetarian options–burritos, quinoa bowls, soup, empanadas, falafel, paninis.Their brand-new menu item for this season is the vegan, Plant-Powered Burrito–spinach tortilla, cilantro-lime rice, greens, cashew cream, and their own red lentil sofrito!
Saratoga Chocolate Co. has been a part of the Market since November, but are super excited to start their first season outdoors in Glens Falls! To kick it off this week they’ll have a few specials for the first outdoor market. Highlights for opening day are their dark chocolate & salted caramel pretzel sticks, $2 off their Matcha bar, and a NEW bar: the Bodhi bar. The Bodhi (which means enlightened) is an “enlightened” milk crunch bar made with quinoa and puffed brown rice. The bar is named after our rescue pup Bodhi, and a percentage of the profits from the bar will go to dog rescue (both local and national).
The Glens Falls Farmers Market Association has been bringing locally grown, produced and crafted products to the communities surrounding Glens Falls since 1976. Our market is open each Saturday, giving you the power to buy local and eat fresh the whole year through!
